He scientific and technological progress of the 20th century has allowed people to overcome time and distance, to cover in the twinkling of an eye the vast expanse of our planet. The whole world is open now. The limitations of former times have ceased to exist.
Modern life is impossible without travelling. To begin with most of us in big cities travel every day to our schools, offices and factories. For some people it is quite a trek to get from home to work. They go by underground, they change to a bus or they take a taxi. From time to time we have to go to another city or country on business. Then after a year’s work people go on holiday and they do not like to spend it at home.

Millions of people all over the world spend their holidays travelling. They travel to see other countries and continents, modern cities and the ruins of ancient towns, they travel to enjoy picturesque places or just for a change of scene. It is always interesting to discover new things, to see different ways of life, to meet different people, to try different food, to listen to different musical rhythms.
Those who live in the country like to go to a big city and spend their time visiting museums and art galleries, looking at shop windows and dining at exotic restaurants. City dwellers usually like a quiet holiday by the sea or on the mountains, with nothing to do but walk and bathe and lie in the sun.
People who wish to travel either for pleasure or on business have at their disposal various means of transport. If you want to get somewhere as quickly as possible the best way is to travel by plane. It is better to book tickets in advance. On the appointed day you go to the airport by car. Soon you’ll be boarding the big airliner and it will carry you to new lands. When on the plane you may look around. In front of you in the cockpit you’ll see the pilot and his crew. Some of the passengers are already reclining in comfortable armchairs. There is a kitchen in the rear part of the plane where the stewardesses are preparing the meals. Presently we take off and in a few minutes the pilot informs us of the altitude. Sometimes it is possible to see land. It is like a geographical map. Our plane is due to arrive in eight hours. The time passes quickly. The plane arrives at the airport on time.
Travelling by train is slower than by plane but it has its advantages. When on the train you can always see the country side around you, so you are not simply travelling, but your holidays have already begun. To have a good trip by train you must book the tickets in advance. When the day of your departure comes, you go to the railway station, which is usu¬ally closer to your home than the airport. The porter helps you with your luggage. You go to your carriage and find out if you have a lower or upper berth in your compartment. Each compartment has its own window, a table, a place for your suitcases and, of course, four berths.
Travelling by sea is mostly for those who are going on holiday and want a pleasant voyage. On board a large cruise ship people traverse oceans and visit other countries. The ship stops for a day or two in different ports and people go ashore on excursions. Crossing the ocean is a magnificent and very long voyage, with enormous waves before you and a 4-deck liner under you. The only drawback is seasickness, so before starting on a voyage you should find out whether you suffer from it or not.
Many people prefer travelling by car. This way you can explore the nearby towns and cities. The greatest advantage is that you can stop whenever you like and that you are not bound by any schedule. You start from your own front door and take any road you like.
Coach tours are not expensive and very popular. They are planned as holidays and there is a chance to do a lot of sightseeing and have a good rest at the same time.
One of the cheapest and the most popular ways of travelling is hiking. It is always a great experience for a lover of nature. Walking through the wood or along the river, having a rest on the shore of a forest lake, climbing a mountain, you feel yourself a part of nature.
All means of travel have their advantages and disadvantages. People choose one according to their plans and destination. When travelling we see and learn a lot of things that we can never see or learn at home.

Ecological problems are played a very important role today.  Discussing environmental protection, we still go on polluting air, water and soil. Air pollution is the biggest problem. Cars, buses and planes, factories and plants are among the worst air polluters. Trees and plants give us oxygen to breath. But they are cut down by people. The temperature on the planet will also rise and this will cause global warming. How can we solve the problems of air pollution? First of all, people should try to use solar, water or wind energies. It is possible to build more railways and to support public transportation. Another way is to make logging companies plant new trees.  We all need water to survive. That's why we can save the water from our baths and use it for the gardens. Governments can help by passing laws to stop factories from wasting and polluting water. Governments could also stop water companies from wasting millions of litres of water because of leaking pipes. We must not ignore the problems of environmetal pollution and we have to try and make everything possible to stop or at least reduce it.
В наши дни экологические проблемы играют очень важную роль. Обсуждая охрану окружающей среды, мы продолжаем загрязнять воздух, воду и почву. Загрязнение воздуха-это большая проблема. Автомобили, автобусы и самолеты, фабрики и заводы являются одними из наихудших загрязнителей воздуха. Деревья и растения дают нам кислород для дыхания. Но они вырубаются людьми. Температура на планете будет повышаться, и это приведет к глобальному потеплению. Как мы можем решить проблемы загрязнения воздуха? Во-первых, люди должны попытаться использовать солнечную энергию, энергию воды или энергию ветра. Можно построить больше железных дорог для увеличения общественного транспорта. Другой заставить лесозаготовительных предприятия сажать новые деревья. Мы все нуждаемся в воде, чтобы выжить. Вот почему мы можем сохранить воду из наших ванн и использовать её для сада. Правительства могут путем принятия законов, чтобы заводы прекратили загрязнение воды. Правительства могли бы также заставить компании водоканала тратить миллионы литров воды из-за прохудившихся труб. Мы не должны игнорировать проблемы, связанные с загрязнением окружающей среды, и мы должны попытаться сделать все возможное, чтобы остановить или хотя бы уменьшить его.
